Amalfi Again

On our previous Amalfi coast ride, we had skipped Positano and Ravello, two of the major attractions. So, with a day left on our 3-day transportation pass, we again took the Circumvesuviana to Sorrento, then the bus to Amalfi, stopping off for a while at Positano, and then, after lunch in Amalfi, the bus up to Ravello. For lunch, we went to Il Pari again. I know it sounds pretensious, but we do have our favorite restaurant in Amalfi. Same dish and wine, too. And, for once, just as good as the first time. Plus the waiter got the recipe for us.

In Positano; a terraced world














Imagine carrying these 80 lb puppies up or down five or six
(or 10) levels















From the beach at Positano

A typical abode; everything in bloom















Beautiful place


















Looking distantly back up the coast














More Mediterranean blue
